abstract：:The fibronectin type II (FnII) domain, present in diverse vertebrate proteins, plays crucial roles in several fundamental biological processes. PDC-109, the major bovine seminal plasma protein, contains two FnII domains that bind to choline phospholipids on sperm plasma membrane and induce lipid efflux crucial for suc...
